The Vampire (Le Stryge), 1853
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching by Charles Meryon that transports viewers to the eerie streets of Paris. This haunting cityscape print, measuring 16.9x13.3 cm, showcases Meryon's mastery in capturing the dark and grotesque elements of Gothic architecture. At the forefront of the image stands a menacing gargoyle known as "Le Stryge" its wings spread wide and its monstrous features sending shivers down one's spine. Perched atop a tower, this winged creature seems to survey the city below with an air of malevolence. Intriguingly, crows and other birds flock around Le Stryge, adding an ominous atmosphere to the scene. Their presence hints at a macabre narrative unfolding within these ancient walls. The backdrop reveals iconic landmarks such as Notre Dame Cathedral and Tour St Jacques, further immersing us into the heart of Parisian history. The juxtaposition between these architectural marvels and the grotesque gargoyle highlights both beauty and darkness coexisting within urban landscapes. Meryon's attention to detail brings every stone and shadow to life in this print—each line etched with precision evokes a sense of foreboding mystery that lingers long after viewing it. "The Vampire (Le Stryge), 1853" is not just an exploration of gothic aesthetics; it is also an invitation for contemplation on our fascination with monsters lurking beneath
